Privacy
Effective October 29, 2026
This policy explains what information this website collects from visitors, why, and who can see it. The website is run by Future Leaders Institute Charter School, 134 West 122nd St., New York, NY 10027.
It applies to this website only. It does not cover student records the school keeps for its own work, which are governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and by New York Education Law § 2-d. The one place this website collects student information is described under "Information about students" below.
The contact form asks for your name, email address, and message.
The visit request form asks for your name, phone number, email address, the grade your child is entering, how you heard about the school, and a preferred date and time, with room for a note. It does not ask for your child's name.
The short enquiry form asks for your name and email address, and a phone number if you choose to give one. It does not ask anything about your child.
If you reached the site from one of the school's adverts, a visit request or enquiry also records which advert, or which programme page you came from. This is read from the page address and is not stored on your device.
The Parent Involvement Committee sign-up on the Parents page asks for your name and email address, and the names and grades of your children at the school, so the committee can add you to its email list.
The Intent to Return form on the Parents page is for current FLI families. It asks for your name, email address, and phone number, and for each child: their full name, next year's grade, and whether they are returning. If a child is not returning, it asks why and which school they will attend, so their records can be transferred.
The donation form asks for your name, email address, phone number, and the amount you intend to give, so the school can follow up. No payment is taken on this site.
The job application form asks for your name, email address, phone number, the position, an optional note, and the résumé and cover letter you upload.
Submissions from every form except job applications are recorded in a spreadsheet held in the school's own Google account. A notification is emailed to the school staff who handle that form.
Job applications and their files are kept on a server run by the school's website contractor, reached through Cloudflare, and are seen by the school staff reviewing applications. A notification is emailed to the school.
Information is used for the purpose the form states: to answer you, to arrange a visit, to plan enrolment and transfer records, to add you to the committee's list, to follow up on a gift, or to consider an application. It is also used to keep the site working and secure, and where the law requires it.
Sending a form on this website is not an application for admission. Applications are made through the school's online admissions application, and admission is decided by lottery.
The Intent to Return and Parent Involvement Committee forms ask a parent or guardian for their children's names and grades. Answers to the Intent to Return form become part of the school's education records about the student, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and New York Education Law § 2-d apply to them. Google, which holds the spreadsheet, and the school's website contractor handle them only to provide services to the school.
None of this information is sent to Google Analytics, Meta, or any advertising service.
Like most websites, this one runs on hosting that keeps ordinary server logs. These record things such as the address of the device requesting a page, the browser used, and the page requested. They exist to keep the site running and secure.
This site uses the following services to count visits and to measure and deliver the school's advertising. They load when you open a page, without asking first, and they set cookies on your device.
Google Analytics: measures which pages are visited, how people arrive, and the type of device and approximate area they visit from, so the school can tell whether the site is useful. The school sees how the site is used, not visitors' names or contact details.
Meta Pixel: records which pages are visited, and whether the visit request or enquiry form was opened or sent. The school uses this to measure its advertising on Facebook and Instagram, and to show its adverts there to people who have visited this site or sent a request. Meta receives the page address, information about your browser and device including its IP address, and its own cookie, and can connect the visit to a Facebook or Instagram account you are signed in to. A visitor stays in these advertising audiences for up to 180 days. Meta uses this information under its own terms, which can include improving its advertising services.
What you type into a form is not sent to Meta or Google.
No child's name is collected by these services. You can turn them off on this device with the control below, and they do not load in a browser that sends a Global Privacy Control signal. The site does not respond to the older Do Not Track setting. Turning them off does not limit any part of this site.
Google Analytics cookies can last up to two years. The Meta Pixel cookie lasts up to 90 days. The companies set these periods and can change them. Turning tracking off with the control below deletes them from this device.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings, and use the links below to limit how these companies use information for advertising.
The Contact and Visit pages show a map supplied by Google. The map loads from Google, which receives your device's address and may set its own cookies. The control on this page does not turn the map off; the school's address is written on both pages for anyone who prefers not to load it.
The school uses outside companies to run this website and to receive form submissions: Vercel for hosting, Google for the spreadsheet and the maps, Resend to deliver notification emails, Cloudflare to connect the job application server, and the school's website contractor, which builds and runs the site. They may only handle the information in order to provide those services to the school.
The school does not sell personal information, and it does not give form submissions to advertisers. The advertising services named under "Cookies, tracking and advertising" receive only what that section describes.
The school may disclose information where the law requires it, for example in response to a court order. As a charter school, the school is subject to New York's Freedom of Information Law, which has its own protections for personal privacy.
This website is written for parents and guardians, job applicants, and the wider community. It is not directed to children, and the school does not knowingly collect personal information through this website from anyone under 13.
Where a form asks about a child, it asks a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has sent personal information through this site, contact the school at the address below and it will be deleted.
Form submissions are kept for as long as the school needs them for the reason they were sent, and for any longer period the law requires the school to keep records.
Every page and form on this site is served over an encrypted connection. No website or service can be made completely secure.
If information sent through this site is ever exposed, the school will give the notice New York law requires.
Do not send health information, Social Security numbers, or bank details through the forms on this site.
Some links on this site lead to services the school uses but does not run, such as the online admissions application, Zoom for public board meetings, and the school's Instagram account. Those services have their own privacy policies, which apply once you are on them.
You can ask what information the school holds about you from this website, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Contact the school at the address below. The school may need to confirm who you are before acting, and some records, such as student records, are kept for as long as the law requires. Information already received by Google or Meta is held under their own policies; their settings, linked above, are the way to manage it.
You can ask to be removed from the Parent Involvement Committee email list at any time.
You can use this site without submitting a form. Nothing on the site requires you to identify yourself in order to read it.
If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it.
Send questions about this policy, or requests about information the school holds from this website, to it@futureleadersinstitute.org. You can also call (212) 678-2868 or write to 134 West 122nd St., New York, NY 10027.
